Compassion

Tuesday in Holy Week

Depart from me, all evildoers,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
Psalm 6:8

it is no small thing
to give in
to give over

to give myself over
to the one who saves

the clamor of those who would distract me from the way
is silenced by the compassion
of the one who walks before me

the one who walks in sorrow
in order to meet me even there

the one who is
where true love is found
